Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Some car oil filters are that size now. Until the 50s some cars didn't have oil filters. Air cooled Volkswagens didn't have oil filters.

Nothing a roll of toilet paper couldn't fix. Though I don't think they made that kit for a German Waterless.

I'm not too worried. Maybe, next time I'm in Delaware, I'll pop down to Bear and check on it.

Someone could have chopped it down years ago, and you're living in ignorant bliss.

I'm fine with that.

It could have used a trim, back in 2012. I totally wouldn't have let it overhang the neighbor's sidewalk like that.

My memory is that I hiked around that lake when I was a ute. Strava unavailable.

also, lower case and capitals can make it 52 possibilities per character. Banking and other websites requiring numbers make it easier. Think about that. SMH

Thank you. Old school parenting works.

We never tracked our kids' phones, although we know lots of people who do.
My son is in his thirties now, mobile phones were virtually non-existent when they were kids. Even most adults didn't have one.

Speaking of trees, this popped up on my FB feed recently. Pic was taken in 1960:



Tree was removed last year.
